Explore the concept of Infinity in a Poem
Infinity Hotel
Imagine a hotel
with an infinite amount of rooms
an infinite amount of guests
and no vacancy.
Now imagine a bus load of
(you guessed it)
infinite people
arriving at the highly reputed Infinity Hotel.
The dedicated hotel manager
fears not.
He requests that each guest
move from their current room
to their room number
doubled.
So the guest in room one moves to room two,
the guest in room thirteen moves to room twenty-six.
This empties all of the odd number of rooms
and allows the bus full
of infinitely many people
to occupy the oddly infinite rooms.
Thought experiment adopted from David Hilbert.
